Chapter Eight Returning to the Province

Grandma He's expression darkened: "When I met Jing Huan and Miaoyun today, I thought of my second brother and second sister-in-law. Mom, although I am the wife of the He family, I have not forgotten the hatred between my father and my second brother and second sister-in-law. I want to

As Pei Ning's daughter-in-law, she also wants to use this opportunity to gain some support from the Xu family. With Pei Ning and me working around the He family, it will be much easier for both the eldest brother and Jing Huan to seek official positions."

The old lady said: "It's good that you think so, but let me ask you, your father-in-law is an instinctive person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Why do you suddenly want to bring up the matter of marriage? After thinking about it, I can only think about it and it is good for the Xu family.

, but it is not good for the He family. How can your father-in-law be so kind? Deliberately selling a favor to the Xu family? There must be something fishy in this. Our family has been out of court for a long time, and many things are not well-informed. What can you hear in the capital?

Wind noise?"

When the old lady said this, Grandma He also became strange. She thought about it carefully and said: "I originally only thought about the good thing of getting married and didn't delve into it. Now that I think about it, I want to say something unusual."

There was also one incident: the emperor fell ill at the beginning of spring, and Prince Kang and Prince Duan came to the palace to serve him. The emperor only kept Prince Kang to attend to his illness, but asked Prince Duan to take charge of state affairs. It was not until the Dragon Boat Festival that the emperor recovered.

Eighth, I also praised Prince Duan for his good work and rewarded him with many things, but Prince Kang didn’t say anything. We all said that since the emperor dared to ask Prince Duan to act in political affairs, it shows that the emperor trusts Prince Duan."

The old lady immediately retorted: "That's not right. When people get old or sick, the children they love and trust the most are often left by their side. The emperor only left Prince Kang, so we know that the emperor relies on Prince Kang. Duan

The prince is acting in state affairs, so he should be happy if he takes advantage of it. Do you think he is happy?"

Grandma He suddenly looked worried: "We made a mistake? The emperor has been doting on Prince Duan for so many years. Did he change his mind again at the end of the day?"

Although the old lady is a wife of the inner house, she has been with Mr. Xu Ge for so many years, and the couple often talks about political affairs in the court. The old lady also has some unusual insights, saying: "If the emperor is now partial to Prince Kang, how will Prince Kang respond?

?”

Grandma He immediately said: "Of course I should seize this opportunity to win over people's hearts and gain a firm foothold."

Grandma He suddenly realized: "What mother means is that Prince Kang has thought of our Xu family. My father was once Prince Kang's teacher. If I can vindicate my father, on the one hand, I will win over the Xu family to his side, and together with the Xu family's

My old friend has also been brought over, and I can also use this to suppress Prince Duan, after all, it was Prince Duan who impeached me in the first place."

The old lady nodded approvingly and said: "It seems that your father-in-law has not changed his nature and is as shrewd as ever. Prince Kang wanted to vindicate the Xu family, but it failed. Naturally, no news came out. We are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone

I know, but your father-in-law knew it well. Knowing that this matter was done and the Xu family was about to get up again, he proposed a marriage as early as possible. Now that the Xu family is white, he, a pavilion elder, took the initiative to propose marriage for his eldest grandson. Others would only say that he was considerate.

The in-laws of the He family and the Xu family are kind-hearted people, and our Xu family can only be grateful. When the Xu family came back, the He family, as the helpers in times of trouble, quietly took advantage of it. Your father-in-law is so smart.

.”

Grandma He was a little worried: "This is just a guess. It's a matter of debate whether Prince Kang's proposal for redress will be successful or not."

The old lady said: "How did your mother-in-law treat you before you came here? Did she ever speak harshly to you?"

Grandma He smiled and said: "That's not true, but she is much more polite than usual."

The old lady smiled and said, "Snobbish people like your mother-in-law have changed their attitude and become polite to you. This shows that this is true."

Grandma He said in surprise: "Then my father will be rehabilitated, and my brother will be able to continue his official career."

The old lady nodded and said nothing, but there was a smile in her eyes.

After analyzing the whole thing thoroughly, not to mention the old lady, even Grandma He had no intention of promoting the marriage. She only said: "When my father-in-law asked, I said that the horoscopes were not compatible." Then she would accompany the old lady every day,

Or joking with nieces and nephews, it feels as if they are returning home.

The old lady knew that her grandson He Bingshu had secretly come to Hangzhou, so she asked the elder to look for him, and it took only half a day to bring him back. Xu Jinghuan was shocked when he saw it, and it turned out to be that Ren Ke. After thinking about it carefully, Ren Tongren, plus

The word "ke", isn't it just the word "what"?

This He Bingshu is quite interesting.

Xu Miaoyun was naturally shocked and ran to Zhang's house to tell Zhang Bao'er. Zhang Bao'er was envious and jealous at the same time: "It turns out to be your cousin. How come he changed his name and came to recognize his marriage in such a dishonest manner?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "My aunt said he was studying abroad, so she kept silent."

Zhang Baoer wanted to go to the Xu family as a guest. The Xu family now had a grandma named He Bingshu. It was much more lively than usual. Xu Miaoyun took Zhang Baoer to greet Grandma He: "Aunt, this is from the Zhang family next door.

Baoer."

Zhang Baoer bowed shyly. Grandma He liked it very much and gave her a greeting gift. Just when He Bingshu came over, Zhang Baoer's face felt like it was on fire. Seeing that Zhang Baoer's meaning was too obvious, Xu Miaoyun was afraid that her aunt would be too preoccupied, so she joked: "Bingshu

Cousin, Bao'er saw you giving Wei Ya a hard time in the building outside the building that day, and I admire you very much."

He Bingshu was a little surprised and smiled slightly, but Zhang Baoer was scared and looking forward to it. Seeing He Bingshu laughing, his eyes became brighter and brighter. Grandma He was a good person. Naturally, she could see Zhang Baoer's admiration for her son, and she was very proud of her heart. She smiled.

"When did Bingshu go to Louwailou?"

Xu Miaoyun then told what happened that day, and Grandma He showed a nostalgic look: "When I was a child, I also went to see it with my eldest and second brothers. At that time, they could argue for a long time over a poem."

Seeing that Grandma He was sad, Xu Miaoyun made an excuse to leave, and then asked Zhang Baoer: "You don't want to marry cousin Bingshu, do you? I'm afraid it won't work out."

Zhang Baoer said: "I just admire him, and I didn't say I would marry him. Don't worry. Although your cousin is good, he is not as good as your brother. I might as well marry your brother."

Xu Miaoyun suddenly became anxious: "You are not allowed to have any ideas about my brother."

Zhang Baoer, however, said reluctantly: "What's the matter? I'll be your sister-in-law, so I'll treat you better."

Xu Miaoyun was angry: "If you marry my brother, I will ignore you."

What Zhang Baoer envies most about Xu Miaoyun is that she has two good brothers and sisters. The brother is elegant and kind, and the sisters are also very funny. They also love and pamper Xu Miaoyun. She is much better than her brother, so she said this deliberately.

Xu Miaoyun's anxious look was particularly relieved.

However, Xu Miaoyun took it seriously and refused to see Zhang Baoer off. She turned around and ran away. She was so angry that she ignored Zhang Baoer for several days. It was not until Zhang Baoer wrote a letter promising not to marry Xu Jinghuan that Xu Miaoyun invited her to play at home again.

Ever since Grandma He arrived, Mother Wan was relieved. It turned out that Mrs. He sent her to see her granddaughter-in-law. This was a very honorable job, but the Xu family obviously had no intention of getting married. It was embarrassing for her to just treat her so coldly.

, now that Grandma He is here, she is the master after all, so Wan’s mother no longer asks about this matter, and just chats with a few familiar mothers.

The aunt of the Xu family returned to the province, so the old lady naturally wanted to entertain her. She invited Mrs. Zhang from next door, Mrs. Zhang, Grandma Zhang, as well as Mrs. Dong and the two Miss Dongs from the Dong family.

The adults were talking to the old lady, and the young girls gathered to play in the garden. The agarwood pavilion in the garden was spacious. The partitions on all sides were removed, curtains were hung, and two tables were placed in the middle. The left and right sides were ventilated and cool, and you could still see

View of the garden.

Needless to say, Zhang Baoer and Grandma Zhang are all acquaintances. The two girls from the Dong family are Dong Zicheng's younger sisters, Dong Qiuyan and Dong Qiulian. Since they are commoners, they don't go out to socialize much, and they only have a nod of friendship with the Xu family girl, so we invited them here today.

, it’s just for Mrs. Dong’s sake.

Zhang Baoer finally managed to stop Xu Miaoyun from being angry, and chirped and asked about the Hungry Ghost Festival. Xu Miaoyun said that he would put river lanterns in the garden at home: "My brother doesn't allow me to go to the waterside, so I just put the river lanterns at home."

Zhang Baoer said: "The little puddle at home is not as fun as outside. My mother asked my brother to take me to Yuquan River. There were many people setting off river lanterns that day. It was very lively. There were also people selling river lanterns on the street. I

If it doesn’t look good, I’ll ask my brother to give me a new one when the time comes.”

Xu Miaoyun was also a little envious and said: "That's great, but it's a pity that I can't go."

Zhang Baoer said: "Then I'll bring it back to you. Mom said I'm not allowed to eat food from outside, but my sister-in-law said there is a wonton stall next to the Yuquan River, with thin crust and big fillings. It's very delicious. I'm going to try it.

There will definitely be no stomachache this time."

Xu Miaoyun said: "Don't say anything. If it really hurts, your mother will not allow you to go out."

Two people were sitting on the porch talking. Inside, Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan were greeting the Dong sisters and Grandma Zhang.

Grandma Zhang was making insinuations about the He family. Mr. He was a bachelor of the cabinet. If he could get into this relationship, it would be much easier for the Zhang family to do business. Xu Peining smiled and did Tai Chi. In fact, she really didn't know about the He family.

After dinner ended in the afternoon, Grandma He also told the old lady that Mrs. Zhang’s words were too explicit. The old lady said: “Having been neighbors for so many years, I know the character of the Zhang family in my heart. Businessmen value profits. It is inevitable for them to be like this, but their hearts are not.

It's true, the boy from the Zhang family gets along well with Run'an, and the young lady from the Zhang family is just like Miaoyun's biological sister."

Grandma He said: "Speaking of Miaoyun, I would rather ask Miaoyun to be my daughter-in-law. She is well-behaved and quiet. Pei Ning and Jinghan are both too dazzling, and Miaoyun is just right."

The old lady smiled and said: "Is she still quiet? She was caught and beaten by Jing Huan when she was naughty. It's better now that she's older. I can't decide Miaoyun's marriage. Jing Huan said it early in the morning. If he has a future, he will do it himself.

Miao Yun looked at each other. I have looked at him with cold eyes for so many years. This kid Jing Huan is young, mature, has ideas, and is motivated. I'm afraid he has a bright future. It's okay for him to worry about Miao Yun. After all, he is the sister of the same mother.

, Miaoyun is also young."
